The board of São Paulo have defined Cuca as their preferred choice to become the team’s coach next year, but the chances of signing him are small.
As mentioned in UOL Esporte, the coach who has a contract of high value until the end of 2016 with Shandong Luneng of China, doesn’t think about quitting and giving up the amount he is owed, and would only leave the club if fired. The report also states that Cuca will not ask the Chinese club to dismiss him. His salary at Shandong Luneng exceeds R$ 1million, and is totally out of the reality of Brazilian football. This season, Cuca’s team became Supercup champions in China and won a spot in the AFC Champions League by finishing third in the league. Firing Cuca means the club would have to pay him a very high compensation, and it is believed that the coach will not resign from the post.
Brazilian members of the technical committee of Shandong Luneng also doubt the dismissal because the club decided to keep Cuca despite his seven month suspension after getting into a fight with an assistant referee in June this year.
São Paulo sacked Doriva last weekend, and technical coordinator Milton Cruz will be the interim coach during the last four rounds of the Brasileirão.
